to a seat here, that he represents a Morman commu

people do not enter into the elements of my opposi
tion to the seat of Mr. Babbit on this floor. To Jews,

avoid the effect of out of door influences, created by i
prejudices against the Mormons. I know nothing of
them but tho extraordinary fact that they have a
power of organization, which can collect the idle, ,
the vicious, and the unproductive, and make in a
short time a most prosperous community. There is
something to be admired in that result at least. I for
bear any expression of opinion as to any other mat
ler connected with them or their faith. But I am sure
that no person in this House would be influenced in
his vote by considerations drawn from the religious j
creed of the Salt Lake community, the gentleman
speaks of the Mormon regiment and thealacrity with
which they obeyed the call of the country in the
Mexican war. This was true with regard to an por
tions of the country, and gives no peculiar rights to j
them.
It is in vain that aentlomen urge the claims of the I
people of Deseret because they have been neglected drowned. The Philadelphia Bulletin says that sev

Washington correspondence July 13) of tlie Louisvile

It is said in other papers that this extraordinary doc
ument was prepared by the last Secretary of State,
and is now in the Department of the Interior. This
act of fatuity and madness displays the true charac
ter of the last administration. It was guided by pass-
inn lrvfl

Such a movement would have precipitated the coun

have been shipwrecked the first act of the drama
beinr to dissipate the troops of the United States by
means of the Texans themselves, and the volunteers
from the surrounding States, who would have poured
in to her defence. We take it for granted that the
present cabinet will beware of following such an ex
ample. Wash. Union.
The Storm. The storm which visited this place
a in the beginning of last week, seems to have been at--'

At New York, several vessels were blown ashore and

THINGS ON THE PACIFIC.
The late fire at San Francisco was, in the destruc
tion of merchandize, more disastrous than either the
fire in May or that in December. The entire amount
of property destroyed by these three fires is said to
have been not less than from twelve to fifteen mil
lions of dollars. The American spirit cannot, how
ever, he subdued for in an hour and a half after the
fire had been arrested, carpenters were busily employ
ed, re-laying the foundations. Artesian wells are
also to be sunk, reservoirs constructed, and hook and
ladder and engine companies organized, to preserve
the city in future.
As to the gold prospects, the accounts give a new
view of the localities and mode of working the mines.
A correspondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce says that, in consequence of the high waters,
operations at the mines will not be commenced in
earnest much before August yet, in this reduced
mining season of four months, the amount of gold
taken out will reach at least fifty millions of dollars.
This amount, it is said, owing to the vast emigration
to the mining regions, will necessarily be more dis
tributed, and the profits of each mine be considera
bly less, than during the last season.
" After the present year, machinery will necessari
ly be brought more into requisition, and the gold will
probably be chiefly extracted from the mother source,
the quartz and other rock in the mountains, known
to contain the precious metal in inexhaustible abun
dance. Every foot of ground in the vallies, yet dis
coved, known to contain "gold washings" has al
ready been taken up by claimants, whose claims are
" staked out " with as much precision as the lots
of speculators in our new towns and cities. Each
claimant, 1 believe, is allowed by the regulations es
tablished among the miners, thirty feet square, and
his title to so much is rigidly respected and protect
ed. The "washings" yet discovered, will probably
be nearly exhausted the present year.
Again, the California papers refer to several newly
discovered rich mines. The San Francisco Herald
says there will be a greater quantity of gold dug out
this summer than ever before. The specimens from
San Joaquin and the Sacramento, go to prove that
the ore is inexhaustible. It has been found richer in
the mountains of Los Angelos (South) than even in
the mines of Mariposa. In the former, science and
machinery will be requisite but sufficient employ
ment and compensation will there be afforded to three
fourths, at least, of all superfluous labor of the Uni
ted States.
On Feather River, the greatest excitement prevails,
in consequence of the discovery of a vast bed of au
riferous quartz, which exceeds, in quantity and rich
ness, the specimens from the mountains of Los An
gelos. The pure ore was found in beautiful threads
and spangles the vein 30 feet wide, and in some
portions, producing a dollar to an ounce of rock. In
a common blacksmith's forge, $32 were smelted out
of a piece of rock weighing 14 lbs.
At Mockesiuand Rattlesnake Creeks, in the South,
no one makes less than an ounce per day. Numer
ous companies are formed to turn the rivers, dig ca
nals, throw up dams, to M walk into " the hidden
treasure.
In the low hills of the Valley of San Jose, be
tween the Contra Costa and Coast ranges of moun
tains, and four or five miles from the Pueblo, gold
has been newly found in the form of ore the high
est assay yielding 87i cents, and the lowest 25 cents,
to the pound of ore. On the whole, the Pacific News
says :
There is no doubt on our minds that the mineral
wealth of California will be found incalculably great-
er then even the most sanguine have hitherto imag- ;
ined. Every day's discovery goes to confirm this
opinion ; and facts within our knowledge warrant us
in saying that the present season will bring to light
the most startling developments in vein or quartz
mining.
In Oregon, loo, they have found gold. It is said
that one of the richest mines on the shore of the Pa
cific has been discovered iu the Spokan country,
some 400 miles from the city, and up the Columbia.
The sand from the Spokan has in its bulk about one
quarter gold. Rogue River, too, will afford profita
ble " diggings," ami Gov. Lane has gone there, to
negotiate a treaty with the Indians, preparatory to
working the gold mines. The opinion is confident
ly expressed, that the middle region of Oregon is to
become tlje grand til Dorado of the age.
Laborers of all kinds are said to be much wanted
in Oregon. Carpenters are receiving from $8 to 12
per day, and common day laborers from $4 to 5 per
day. Tailors charge $30 for making a dress coat,
and $8 to 10 for vests and pantaloons. School teach
ers are in demand and at their own prices. The peo
ple of Oregon have an abundance of health, money
and provisions a most happy condition !
Truth Stranger than Fiction. The Pennsyl
vania correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, ol
May 2d, relates the following occurrence :
A young man recently made his escape from the
galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous,
and soon made his way across the country and esca
ped pursuit. He arrived the next morning betore a
cottage in an open held, and stopped to Deg some
thing to eat, and concealment while he reposed a lit
tle. But he found the inmates of the cottage in the
greatest distress. Four little children sat trembling
in a corner, tneir motner was w eeping auu tearing
her hair, and the father walking the floor in agony.
The galley slave asked what was the matter, and the
father replied that they were tnat morning to db turn
ed out of doors because they could not pay the rent.
You see me driven to despair," said the father;
" my wife and little children without food or shelter,
and 1 without means to provide for them." The con
vict listened to this tale wilh tears of sympathy, and
then said :
" I will give you the means. I have but just es
caped from the galleys ; whosoever secures and takes
me back an escaped prisoner, is entitled to a rewara
of fifty francs. How much does your rent amount
to V7
" Forty francs," answered the father.
" Well," said the other," " put a cord around my
body, I will follow you to the city, they will recog
nize me, and you will gel fifty trance for bringing
me back. "
"No, never! exclaimed the astonished listener,
" my children shall starve a dozen times before I
would do so base a thing. "
The generous young man insisted, and declared at
last that he would go and give himself up, if the fa
ther would not consent to take him. After a long
striio-oie. the latter yielded, and taking his preserver
by the arm, led him to the city and to the Mayor's
otfice. Every body was surprised that a little man
like the father had been able to capture such a strong
young fellow, but the proof was before them ; the
tifty Irancs were paid and the prisoner sent back to
the galleys. But after he was gone, the father asked
a private interview of the Mayor, to whom he told
the whole story. The Mayor was so much affected
that he not only added fifty francs more to the father's
puise, but wrote immediately to the Minister of Jus
tice, begging the noble young prisoner's release. The
Minister examined into the affair, and finding that it
was comparatively a small offence which' had con
demned the young man to the galleys, and that be
had already served out half his time, he ordered his
release. Is not the whole incident beautiful 1
Saltpetre. The NeW York Evening- Post says
the insurance companies of that city have -come to a
conclusion that they will not. insure any. building, nor
goods in any building which contains saltpetre.
They have been warned against it by the recent dis
astrous experience in Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

In presenting to the Members of the North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Company at their first annual
meeting the accompanying exhibit of the transactions of
the Company for the first year, together with its present
financial condition, the Board of Directors deem it un
necessary to enter into any calculations to show the
benefits of Life Insurance.
It will be seen by reference to this exhibit, that the
Company is in a remarkably sound and prosperous con
dition, and that there is on hand an amount of Cash
quite sufficient to meet even extraordinary losses. This
results from the uncommon success that has attended
upon our labors bo far; and from the additional circum
stance, that the Directors, although abundantly able to
do so, from the financial state of the affairs of the Com
pany, have not declared any dividend for this year. A
zealous regard for iho future welfare and best interest of
the Company dictated such a course.
As to the expenses of the past year, which may, with
out due reflection, seem unreasonably large, it must he
remembered that, to put in operation an Institution like
ours required something of an out-fit, which necessarily
became a charge upon the first year's transactions. Ma
ny of these expenses, therefore, will be incurred only in
part hereafter.
In conclusion, the Board of Directors take great pleas
ure in assuring the members that our Company, which
is constantly increasing in public confidence and favor.

850 REWARD.
RAN A WAY from the plantation of Jas. G. Edwards
dee'd, on tho 29th of June last, a negro man named
Levi, about 21 years old, he is rather dark in complexion
and has a lump on the out side of his right knee as large
as a hen's egg, which may lead to his detection if exam
ined. He is about six feet high and generally weighs
about 200 pounds.
He stole the free papers of Luke Hall and Ned Hall
who reside in this County, and has attempted to escape
on the Rail Road by exhibiting the papers of the former,
which were taken from him, and he still has the papers
of Ned Hall in his possession. At Black Creek he in
quired his way to Raleigh, but it is suspected that he may
still be lurking somewhere in this region.
The above reward will be paid to any person or per
sons who will deliver him to any of the subscribers or
confine him in any Jail so that they can get him.
Address Macon Moye, at this place.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
Warrenton Advertiser.
THE undersigned proposes to publish in the town of
Warrenton, N. C. a Weekly Newspaper under the
above title.
The Advertiser will give to the principles and meas
ures of the Democratic Party, a ccrJial, zealous and
constant support ; but, at the same time, will be guided
by a temperate, just and even liberal spirit towards those
who entertain adverse opinions aiming rather to mollt
y than to increase the bitterness of party feelings.
It is not designed, however, to make the Advertiser a
mere political paper. The largest portion of its columns
will be devoted to Agriculture, Literature, News, and
other subjects of general interest.
The publication will be commenced as soon 86 a suffi
cient number of subscribers is obtained. It will be
printed on an Imperial sheet of good paper, in a new,
large and bandauinc type, at $2 50 in advance, or $3
if not paid within three months from the time the first
number is sent.

by Dry Goods merchants.
Remember that these Goods will be sold at a great
bargain, and call on J. CREECH.
